Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sutton on the Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scuffs and light scratches

  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Sutton on the Hill questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the following day.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, 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.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sutton on the Hill

Hospitality businesses cannot 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 regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
