DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Rusper

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Rusper: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover Rusper?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Rusper. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Rusper, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Do you need shower tray repair in Rusper?

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Repairing versus replacing in Rusper

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. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
