Repairing versus replacing in Helmington Row
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Shower tray repair in Helmington Row, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a dull, stained or worn surface.
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.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Helmington Row
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Helmington Row. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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.
Do you need shower tray repair in Helmington Row?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that flexes
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips caused during fitting
