Questions from Shawlands
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
About our shower tray repair in Shawlands
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re often asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What affects the price in Shawlands
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Shawlands. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Shawlands, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Do you need shower tray repair in Shawlands?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks running from the waste

Should you replace it?

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shawlands. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
