How we handle shower tray repair in Quick

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches from cleaning or grit.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Quick. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Quick

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Quick

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Our hiring checklist

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
