Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
