How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Questions from Latchingdon
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Latchingdon?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Latchingdon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
