How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Tarbrax get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Tarbrax?

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we work on in Tarbrax

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tarbrax

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

FAQs for Tarbrax

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Are there extra charges for Tarbrax?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
