Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Far Sawrey. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Most clients in Far Sawrey get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts 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.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
