The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

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.

When to call us in Hamstead Marshall

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin

Common questions in Hamstead Marshall

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hamstead Marshall. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
