Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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 a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
