About our shower tray repair in Northdown
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with a cracked shower tray and damage from a refit or building work, we can generally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Northdown
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northdown use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Northdown
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Northdown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
