Your questions about shower tray repair in Loughton
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Loughton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Shropshire.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Loughton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Loughton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Loughton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Loughton
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
