Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kirby Row, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Landlord and trade work in Kirby Row
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
FAQs for Kirby Row
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can I use the shower again?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Kirby Row and the surrounding area

Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
