Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What we are called out for in Pitmans Corner

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Pitmans Corner clients choose us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Pitmans Corner. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Pitmans Corner, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  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 entire tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
