How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rylah. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

For a price in Rylah, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Rylah

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

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

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S44 postcode.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Landlord and trade work in Rylah

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What we’re called out for in Rylah

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
