What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kelvingrove. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

FAQs for Kelvingrove

What happens if you find more damage?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Are there extra charges for Kelvingrove?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

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