Iveston questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Across the UK, so Iveston is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Iveston
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Iveston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What else we do in Iveston
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Iveston and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
