Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Are you accredited?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Repair or replace in Hawstead?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Different materials, different repairs
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 can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What affects the price in Hawstead
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hawstead. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hawstead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole shower tray
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
