Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Shadsworth get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Shadsworth

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Shadsworth: your questions answered

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

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.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Shadsworth included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Are there extra charges for Shadsworth?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 usually cheaper.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
