What affects the price in Sholver
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- 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 your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Sholver
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Questions from Sholver
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
