Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel

Your questions about shower tray repair in West Mains

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, West Mains included. There is no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repair or replace in West Mains?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
