What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin

Common problems we fix in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
