Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and damage around the waste, in ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

Landlord and trade work in Goathill

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents often 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.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Goathill

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Goathill. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Repair or replace in Goathill?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
