Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Do you need shower tray repair in Barrow upon Humber?
Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that flexes
- Cracks running from the waste
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
