Common questions in Egerton
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
About our shower tray repair in Egerton
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chipped corners or rims and a cracked shower tray.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace in Egerton?
The tray is generally 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. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
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 will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What affects the price in Egerton
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Egerton. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BL7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Egerton
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A crack across the base
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Egerton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
