Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We ensure 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.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Melmerby
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
