What affects the price in High Throston
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for High Throston. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in High Throston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

High Throston: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you come to High Throston?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to High Throston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Repairing versus replacing in High Throston
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for High Throston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
