Shower tray repair in Washington, done in place
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We are frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and scratches from cleaning or grit, across stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Washington
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover Washington?
We do. We send a technician to Washington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Washington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repairing versus replacing in Washington
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
