FAQs for St Lawrence Bay

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around St Lawrence Bay, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
