What else we do in Swinford
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Swinford
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Swinford.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
