How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lambourne End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Lambourne End

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our prices page.

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 usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Lambourne End

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
