Landlord and trade work in Layer Breton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace in Layer Breton?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What affects the price in Layer Breton
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Looking after it afterwards

Layer Breton: your questions answered
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
