Shower tray repair in Helmdon without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scuffs and light scratches, we can normally put it right, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Helmdon
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Helmdon
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Helmdon questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Helmdon, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Do you need shower tray repair in Helmdon?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A crack across the base
- Movement when you stand on it
Comparing quotes
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Helmdon
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
