What affects the price in Vigo Village
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Vigo Village. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When to call us in Vigo Village
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Vigo Village?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DA13 postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
