What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Matfield, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
FAQs for Matfield
Do you cover Matfield?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Matfield for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. 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. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Matfield?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Repair or replace in Matfield?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Matfield as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
