About our shower tray repair in Swinhill
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and chipped corners or rims.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Swinhill
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Swinhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Swinhill. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Swinhill questions
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in Swinhill?
We do. We send a technician to Swinhill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
