FAQs for Little Bollington
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Do you cover the whole of Trafford?
The whole UK, including all of Trafford. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Little Bollington. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Little Bollington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
