Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wollaton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Wollaton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Nottingham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What affects the price in Wollaton
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Common problems we fix in Wollaton
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the edges
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
