What affects the price in Brandon
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Brandon. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Questions from Brandon
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work in Brandon?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Brandon. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Repair or replace in Brandon?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
