What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day 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. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. 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 Tebay, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Tebay

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Tebay get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
