Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Tycoch
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Tycoch?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SA2 postcode.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
