Do you cover West Bowling?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to West Bowling from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How much does shower tray repair cost in West Bowling?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

What it costs 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.
