What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BA1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Lower Hamswell questions

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How long does it take to cure?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Bath and North East Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
