How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thistle Hill. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Thistle Hill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Thistle Hill

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Thistle Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common problems we fix in Thistle Hill

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Common reasons people in Thistle Hill contact us are:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
