Shower tray repair for Heyheads homes

What affects the price in Heyheads

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Heyheads. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Heyheads and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Shower tray repair in Heyheads without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chipped corners or rims and damage from a refit or building work.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Heyheads clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlord and trade work in Heyheads

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 photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Heyheads

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Heyheads is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

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 redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Common problems we fix in Heyheads

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
