How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Sandhurst

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in Sandhurst

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Sandhurst and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Do you need shower tray repair in Sandhurst?

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repair or replace in Sandhurst?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sandhurst. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
