What affects the price in Godinton
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Godinton. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
About our shower tray repair in Godinton
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for scratches from cleaning or grit and chips on the edges, on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Questions from Godinton
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you come to Godinton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Godinton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Godinton
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the edges
- A damaged area around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
Repairing versus replacing in Godinton
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
