Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Nailstone, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything

Read our prices page.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Nailstone

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you work in Nailstone?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Nailstone. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Nailstone

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nailstone as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
