Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Snailwell. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CB8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

Common questions in Snailwell

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CB8 postcode.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
