Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Questions from Arlebrook
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GL10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Arlebrook
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing in Arlebrook
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
