How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Questions from Waterfall
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you come to Waterfall?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Waterfall and the rest of Staffordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
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.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
