How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Low Moorsley
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DH5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Questions from Low Moorsley
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Low Moorsley included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What we are called out for in Low Moorsley
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Common reasons people in Low Moorsley contact us include:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Low Moorsley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not 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.
