Landlords, agents and businesses in Glass Houghton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we’re called out for in Glass Houghton
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that flexes
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in Glass Houghton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We leave the room as we found it

- Work done at your home or business

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
