What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Smallthorne. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ST6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Smallthorne?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Landlord and trade work in Smallthorne

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smallthorne use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Smallthorne

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
