The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Questions from Sawston
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Sawston is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you come to Sawston?
We do. Technicians travel to Sawston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Sawston
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
