What we’re called out for in Upton

Upton: your questions answered
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Upton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NN5 postcode.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Also in Upton
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
