DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace: which is better?

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
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.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What affects the price in Coundongate
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Coundongate. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Coundongate, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
