How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Knighton. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Knighton

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Take a look at our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Most clients in Knighton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When to call us in Knighton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Knighton

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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