Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S44 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Scarcliffe

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 generally cheaper.
