What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Talwrn, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
