How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Gunville
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
For a price in Gunville, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
