What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
When to call us in Douglas Water
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Common reasons people in Douglas Water contact us are:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Movement when you stand on it
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Douglas Water
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Douglas Water: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you work in Douglas Water?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Douglas Water. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Douglas Water as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
