Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Water Run. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Water Run

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
