How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Alsop en le Dale. The price comes down to:

Questions from Alsop en le Dale
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace in Alsop en le Dale?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
