Questions from Hales
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Shower tray repair at your home in Hales
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re frequently asked to fix a crack across the base and damage around the waste, on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Hales
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hales. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TF9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Hales
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repairing versus replacing in Hales
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
