What affects the price in Houndscroft
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Houndscroft
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Houndscroft, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
For a price in Houndscroft, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Common questions in Houndscroft
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
