Shower tray repair for Great Somerford homes

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Advice

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Great Somerford

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
