How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Watersheddings, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down 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.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OL4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Watersheddings: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Watersheddings.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
