What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

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 to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our pricing.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
