Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. For a rural address like Swainsthorpe, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space clear if you can

Materials we work on in Swainsthorpe
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Replacement in Swainsthorpe means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.

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. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
