Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Meltham
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the entire of Kirklees?
We work UK-wide, so Meltham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
