What else we do in Retford
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Retford
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chipped corners or rims
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that flexes
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

FAQs for Retford
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
