Questions from Heddle
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Heddle?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Heddle and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repairing versus replacing in Heddle
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

- The material, if you know it

- Details of any past repairs
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KW17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Heddle
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Cracks running from the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
