Shower tray repair in Swaton, done in place
You don’t 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. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and chipped corners or rims.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What affects the price in Swaton
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Swaton questions
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Swaton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
