What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Marton

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Repairing versus replacing in Marton

A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Do you need shower tray repair in Marton?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Look out for these signs:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
