Questions from Aldwincle
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you come to Aldwincle?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Aldwincle and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Common problems we fix in Aldwincle
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scuffs and light scratches
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
What affects the price in Aldwincle
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
Repair or replace in Aldwincle?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
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’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Aldwincle, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
