DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Great Braxted and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Braxted
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace in Great Braxted?

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
