Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin

Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Questions from Kirton
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Kirton
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
