Old Tree questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Old Tree?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Shower tray repair in Old Tree without replacing anything
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips or cracks by the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Old Tree and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
