Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Port Askaig questions

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PA46 postcode.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Port Askaig, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Port Askaig, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
