What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: 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.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we’re called out for in Knob's Crook

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Repair or replace in Knob's Crook?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Knob's Crook

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover Knob's Crook?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Knob's Crook and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
