How we handle shower tray repair in Sayers Common
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and movement when you stand on it, across cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Advice
Your questions about shower tray repair in Sayers Common
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Sayers Common and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
