What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Towednack. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Towednack

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Towednack included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Repair or replace in Towednack?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When to call us in Towednack

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

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