About our shower tray repair in Stratton St Margaret
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stratton St Margaret and across Swindon.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
