The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Your questions about shower tray repair in New Lane End
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How much does shower tray repair cost in New Lane End?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WA3 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
