Repairing versus replacing in Stratton Audley
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stratton Audley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Stratton Audley
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Stratton Audley.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we’re called out for in Stratton Audley
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for 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.

For landlords and businesses
