How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Longfield Hill

How long does it take to cure?

Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Longfield Hill?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DA3 postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Landlord and trade work in Longfield Hill

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Longfield Hill

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • 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.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
