How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SO17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Questions from Portswood
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Are there extra charges for Portswood?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
