Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Ockbrook and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Questions from Ockbrook

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the next day.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
