What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How we handle shower tray repair in Tadlow

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface, across stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tadlow use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Tadlow

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work 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.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tadlow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Tadlow

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
