What affects the price in Little Carlton

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Little Carlton. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NG23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Little Carlton

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When to call us in Little Carlton

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
