FAQs for Douglas
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Shower tray repair in Douglas, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Most clients in Douglas get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
