Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Sheldwich questions
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Sheldwich?

What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ME13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Sheldwich
If you manage property in Sheldwich, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Sheldwich
Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
