Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Carlton
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around South Carlton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel

South Carlton questions
Do you cover villages like South Carlton?
Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included, at no extra charge.
I let a flat near Saxilby station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you work in South Carlton?
We do. We send a technician to South Carlton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in South Carlton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. For a rural home like those around South Carlton, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while shower tray repair is one trip.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on. In a village or hamlet like South Carlton, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
