Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Shower tray repair at your home in Helbeck
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix movement when you stand on it and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
What affects the price in Helbeck
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Helbeck. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
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.
Common questions in Helbeck
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Helbeck?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Helbeck
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
