Questions from Ravenstown
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ravenstown. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we’re called out for in Ravenstown
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chipped corners or rims
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
