Repairing versus replacing in Shield Row
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shield Row. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shield Row. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Shield Row and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- 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 clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
