What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

West Dulwich: your questions answered

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in West Dulwich

What we’re called out for in West Dulwich

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
