Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common problems we fix in Reedness

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Reedness

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

FAQs for Reedness

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Reedness. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
