What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Waunarlwydd. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Questions from Waunarlwydd

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you work in Waunarlwydd?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Waunarlwydd from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Waunarlwydd

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

When to call us in Waunarlwydd

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Repairing versus replacing in Waunarlwydd

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
