Should you replace it?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
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’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, 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 often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Questions from Gargrave
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
