Repairing versus replacing in Purley
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Purley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry

Related advice
Your questions about shower tray repair in Purley
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Purley and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
