What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Whitehills. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

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

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common questions in Whitehills

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repair or replace in Whitehills?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
