What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What else we do in Helsby
Common problems we fix in Helsby
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What affects the price in Helsby
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One price list for the whole UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
