Shower tray repair in Heydon, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Heydon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heydon as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Heydon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
