How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ripley. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HG3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Shower tray repair in Ripley without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ripley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common questions in Ripley

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ripley.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ripley

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ripley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
