Shower tray repair in Hickleton, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and a cracked shower tray, in ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hickleton as everywhere else we work.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What else we do in Hickleton
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Landlord and trade work in Hickleton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hickleton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Hickleton
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
