Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What affects the price in Upton
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Upton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upton
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Upton: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our prices page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need shower tray repair in Upton?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
