Common questions in Ripple
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Do you cover Ripple?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ripple for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Shower tray repair at your home in Ripple
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Common problems we fix in Ripple
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ripple. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ripple. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
