How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in Nether Exe

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are there extra charges for Nether Exe?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Nether Exe

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repair or replace in Nether Exe?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
