Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole shower tray
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Advice
Questions from Stoke Gabriel
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke Gabriel
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Stoke Gabriel
Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
