How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
When to call us in Stourton Caundle
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stourton Caundle
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stourton Caundle as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Repair or replace in Stourton Caundle?

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.

Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will it make a mess?
