Cliffe Vale questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Common problems we fix in Cliffe Vale
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
- A crack across the base
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
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.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
