How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tringford. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, 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 price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Tringford get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlord and trade work in Tringford

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Common problems we fix in Tringford

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips caused during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from Tringford

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HP23 postcode.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re 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 fails, we can still put it right.

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 normally the cheaper route.
