Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

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.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tupton. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Tupton questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What do you need from me?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
