DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Alstone
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Alstone.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually 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.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
