Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gilbert Street. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

There is 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 price.

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Gilbert Street

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Gilbert Street?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
