Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ornsby Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DH7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Ornsby Hill?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ornsby Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When to call us in Ornsby Hill
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
