What shower tray repair costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlord and trade work in Hare Street

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hare Street use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Hare Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Hare Street

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Hare Street: your questions answered

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CM5 postcode.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you come to Hare Street?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Hare Street from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
