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

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

How to compare quotes

Shower tray repair at your home in Shandwick

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Shandwick questions

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Shandwick?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Shandwick. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

Work for landlords and builders

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
