About our shower tray repair in Sticklepath

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray, in cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Should you replace it?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
