Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Shower tray repair in Meadfoot without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Meadfoot: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Do you work in Meadfoot?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Meadfoot. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Meadfoot use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Meadfoot. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When to call us in Meadfoot
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
