What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Common questions in West Hallam

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover West Hallam?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 there are no surprises on the day.
