How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Townhead questions

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Glasgow. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Townhead

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Townhead

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Take a look at our pricing.

Do you need shower tray repair in Townhead?

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Townhead

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Glasgow and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
