Shower tray repair in Heslington, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in Heslington get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Questions from Heslington
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When can I use the shower again?
Usually the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of York. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you cover Heslington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Heslington and the rest of York. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Heslington.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Heslington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
