Shower tray repair at your home in Tower Wood

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LA23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Tower Wood

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions from Tower Wood

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you come to Tower Wood?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tower Wood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
