What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Winterbourne Abbas. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Winterbourne Abbas, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Shower tray repair in Winterbourne Abbas, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and damage around the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

FAQs for Winterbourne Abbas

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

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

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 early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
