About our shower tray repair in West Shilvinghampton
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

West Shilvinghampton questions
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in West Shilvinghampton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in West Shilvinghampton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Signs you need shower tray repair in West Shilvinghampton

Look out for these signs:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
