DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Bolton

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bolton. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Most customers in Bolton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bolton: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you work in Bolton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bolton and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Are there extra charges for Bolton?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Repairs by material

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 can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bolton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Bolton

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
