Shower Tray Repair for Tipner homes
Shower tray repair across Tipner and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Tipner
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What else we do in Tipner
Landlord and trade work in Tipner
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When to call us in Tipner
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, generally along the edges or by the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Tipner and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
