Repair or replace: which is better?

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Brough. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Shower tray repair in Brough without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and a damaged area around the waste, we can normally put it right, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What affects the price in Brough
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Brough
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the entire of Highland?
The entire UK, including all of Highland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
