Trispen: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What affects the price in Trispen
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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 quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- 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 entire tray.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Common problems we fix in Trispen
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A crack across the base
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Landlord and trade work in Trispen
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
