Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The process

Your technician turns 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. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Generally the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Do I have to be there?

Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kirkpatrick Durham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What shower tray repair costs

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

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

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
