Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Repairing versus replacing in Cores End
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Cores End
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cores End. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cores End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What else we do in Cores End
Common questions in Cores End
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Buckinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
