Questions from Little Portugal
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How we handle shower tray repair in Little Portugal
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and a tray that flexes, across cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SW9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Little Portugal. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
When to call us in Little Portugal
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Cracks running from the waste
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
