Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
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.
Your questions about shower tray repair in St Margaret's Hope
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in St Margaret's Hope?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to St Margaret's Hope. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
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.

What else we do in St Margaret's Hope
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need shower tray repair in St Margaret's Hope?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that flexes
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
