What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

Most clients in Great Bowden get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Shower tray repair in Great Bowden, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and chips caused during fitting, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Great Bowden questions
Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Great Bowden?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot 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
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Great Bowden
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Bowden use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Bowden. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
