How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we are called out for in Butterley

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we work on in Butterley

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common questions in Butterley

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Butterley included. Travel is included in the price.

Are there extra charges for Butterley?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Butterley.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Do you come to Butterley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Butterley. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
