Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Ormiston
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ormiston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ormiston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Ormiston questions
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
