What affects the price in Killerby
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
There are no surprise 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.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Questions from Killerby
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the following day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work in Killerby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Killerby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
