Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take 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 protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

FAQs for Low Nibthwaite

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
