Shower Tray Repair in Swardeston
Fixed-price shower tray repair in Swardeston and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches in the surface
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Shower tray repair in Swardeston without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and a crack across the base, we can help, on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Swardeston
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Are there extra charges for Swardeston?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Why repair rather than replace?
