Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. 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. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our pricing.

Common problems we fix in Leabrooks

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Leabrooks: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are there extra charges for Leabrooks?

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

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
