Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What we are called out for in Symbister

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Symbister
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
