We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Church Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many areas need work
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Church Hill questions
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Church Hill. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. 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.
Do you need shower tray repair in Church Hill?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
