How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Henbury. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Henbury

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
