FAQs for Easter Pencaitland
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover Easter Pencaitland?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Easter Pencaitland for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
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.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How we handle shower tray repair in Easter Pencaitland
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and chips caused during fitting, across ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
