What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

About our shower tray repair in Osbaston

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We are often asked to fix a crack across the base and movement when you stand on it, across stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Osbaston clients choose us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Osbaston

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
