- A damaged area around the waste

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Metal Bridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Metal Bridge get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
What else we do in Metal Bridge
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Metal Bridge questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Repair or replace in Metal Bridge?
A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.
