How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wissett. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

FAQs for Wissett

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 generally usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

What we are called out for in Wissett

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
