Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Materials we work on in Dringhouses
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Dringhouses questions
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work in Dringhouses?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dringhouses for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Should you replace it?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- 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.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
