Repairing versus replacing in Herston
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Shower tray repair in Herston without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and damage around the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Herston
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What affects the price in Herston
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BH19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
