Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our shower tray repair in Lower Apperley
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about movement when you stand on it and chipped corners or rims.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lower Apperley
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Landlord and trade work in Lower Apperley
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What else we do in Lower Apperley
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry

What affects the price in Lower Apperley
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
