DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.
FAQs for Long Duckmanton
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Long Duckmanton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Repair or replace in Long Duckmanton?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Long Duckmanton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
