What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Mere. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is generally 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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mere

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mere use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need shower tray repair in Mere?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Common questions in Mere

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
