What affects the price in Bobbing
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What else we do in Bobbing
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When to call us in Bobbing
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Cracks running from the waste

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

FAQs for Bobbing
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
