Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

Shower tray repair in Matching, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and chips on the edges, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Other services in Matching
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Ventilate the room after showers
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Repairing versus replacing in Matching
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. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Matching
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you work in Matching?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Matching from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the next day.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
