Philipshill questions
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Philipshill?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Shower tray repair in Philipshill without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and chips on the edges, in acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Do you need shower tray repair in Philipshill?
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before booking

- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Landlord and trade work in Philipshill
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Philipshill. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Philipshill get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace in Philipshill?
