Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlord and trade work in Coalburns
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coalburns use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Coalburns, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
