How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Most clients in Melton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything

Questions from Melton

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Melton?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Melton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Melton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
