What affects the price in Downend
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
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.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Questions from Downend
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Downend?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Downend.

- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.

- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Downend
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Isle of Wight and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
