Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole shower tray
For a price in Beacon End, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Beacon End: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Beacon End?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Beacon End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
