Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Materials we work on in Walsworth

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, 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 may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
