Shower tray repair in The Rookery

Shower tray repair at your home in The Rookery

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and a crack across the base.

Every job is backed for twelve months in The Rookery and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including The Rookery. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in The Rookery get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Questions from The Rookery

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes The Rookery. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

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 quote, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why The Rookery clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
