About our shower tray repair in Hele
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and scratches from cleaning or grit, in enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Hele, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hele
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When to call us in Hele
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repairing versus replacing in Hele
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Will the price change on the day?

What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take 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.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit

Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
