How to compare quotes

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Palmerstown get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
