How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DY4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Shower tray repair in Great Bridge, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and scuffs and light scratches, on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Great Bridge: your questions answered

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the next day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Great Bridge.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything

  • When it can be used again

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
