Shower Tray Repair for Tiger Bay homes
Shower tray repair across Tiger Bay and nearby, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage from a refit or building work
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Shower tray repair in Tiger Bay, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and damage from a refit or building work, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tiger Bay as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Tiger Bay
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin

Common questions in Tiger Bay
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in Tiger Bay?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Tiger Bay from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Are there extra charges for Tiger Bay?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Tiger Bay, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
