DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Sandfields
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is a repair better than a new one?
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.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Sandfields
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crack across the base
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace in Sandfields?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
See our prices page.
What affects the price in Sandfields
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
For a price in Sandfields, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
