Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
What we are called out for in Machynys
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Common reasons people in Machynys contact us include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Machynys: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
