DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we handle shower tray repair in Osgathorpe
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and a cracked shower tray, across cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we are called out for in Osgathorpe
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chipped corners or rims
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Osgathorpe get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlord and trade work in Osgathorpe
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Osgathorpe
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
