How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Plumstead, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Plumstead

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it messy?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common problems we fix in Plumstead

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
