About our shower tray repair in Old Deer
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a dull, stained or worn surface.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Landlord and trade work in Old Deer
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Old Deer and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
