Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Stowlangtoft, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Stowlangtoft

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our pricing.

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
