FAQs for Shiphay
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Shiphay?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TQ2 postcode.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
How we handle shower tray repair in Shiphay
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Shiphay
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When to call us in Shiphay
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Look out for these signs:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to look after the finish
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
