What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ilketshall St Lawrence. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ilketshall St Lawrence
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ilketshall St Lawrence as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NR34 postcode.

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ilketshall St Lawrence from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
