The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in St Lawrence

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Repairing versus replacing in St Lawrence

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Common questions in St Lawrence

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

When to call us in St Lawrence

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
