How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pennycross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pennycross use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Pennycross questions

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you come to Pennycross?

We do. We send a technician to Pennycross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
