Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Astcote

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

When to call us in Astcote

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Astcote, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Take a look at our prices page.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
