Shower tray repair in Great Missenden without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and scratches in the surface, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Missenden

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Great Missenden

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
