What affects the price in Rockingham
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Do you need shower tray repair in Rockingham?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scuffs and light scratches
Before you book anyone

- Whether a trained technician does the job
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rockingham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Questions from Rockingham
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Rockingham. Prices do not change with location.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rockingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
