  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work

How to compare quotes

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Kirkgunzeon

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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 are filled and matched to the surface.

Should you replace it?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
