How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in South Portobello, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
FAQs for South Portobello
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How much does shower tray repair cost in South Portobello?

What we’re called out for in South Portobello
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base

- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
