Repair or replace: which is better?

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What we are called out for in Wickham Bishops

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What affects the price in Wickham Bishops

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
