The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Kirkoswald: your questions answered
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?

Are there extra charges for Kirkoswald?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CA10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

For anyone letting property in or around Kirkoswald, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkoswald use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Kirkoswald

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
