Shower Tray Repair in Swithland
Damaged shower tray in Swithland? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from a refit or building work

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Shower tray repair in Swithland without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a cracked shower tray, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Swithland, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Swithland. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Swithland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repair or replace in Swithland?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Swithland
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
