What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Flawborough?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Flawborough. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Flawborough as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Flawborough: your questions answered

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Flawborough and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What we’re called out for in Flawborough

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
