Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Repairing versus replacing in Cock Street

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Cock Street, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
