What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Walsgrave on Sowe: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is there any odour?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Landlord and trade work in Walsgrave on Sowe

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

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.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Walsgrave on Sowe

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
