What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Little Canada

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Little Canada: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

What areas do you cover?

All of Doncaster, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Common problems we fix in Little Canada

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
