Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 usually the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When to call us in Knipton

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
