What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add 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.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Thurlow

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

When to call us in Little Thurlow

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Little Thurlow

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Little Thurlow customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How quickly can you book me in?

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
