When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we’re called out for in Scatness

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Scatness. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Scatness questions

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Scatness included. Travel is included in the price.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work in Scatness?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Scatness. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
