Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hensingham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Hensingham
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
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.
