We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I have to be there?

Can landlords book you?

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lighthorne. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Lighthorne

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
