What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What affects the price in Ulverston

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Ulverston

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

If you manage property in Ulverston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ulverston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
