Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Seaburn Dene
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SR6 postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
