How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Piperdam. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DD2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Piperdam. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our prices page.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Common questions in Piperdam

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DD2 postcode.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Dundee. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dundee and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Piperdam

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Piperdam

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to look after the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
