How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Zeal Monachorum

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Zeal Monachorum

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you come to Zeal Monachorum?

We do. We send a technician to Zeal Monachorum for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Is it messy?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
