Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thatto Heath. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thatto Heath
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thatto Heath use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Thatto Heath
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Thatto Heath. Our prices are the same everywhere.
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 reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
