Shower tray repair in Shortlanesend without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and scratches from cleaning or grit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What affects the price in Shortlanesend
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shortlanesend. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Common questions in Shortlanesend
How much does shower tray repair cost in Shortlanesend?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Landlord and trade work in Shortlanesend

When to call us in Shortlanesend
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that flexes
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Take a look at our full price list.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
