Helme: your questions answered

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Helme. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Helme. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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 you will get a fixed figure back.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic

Landlords, agents and businesses in Helme

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

When to call us in Helme

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
