Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Great Carlton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Great Carlton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Great Carlton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LN11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Great Carlton

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Are there extra charges for Great Carlton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you come to Great Carlton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Great Carlton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
