How we handle shower tray repair in Hickling
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole, in stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Do you need shower tray repair in Hickling?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Cracks running from the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hickling, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Hickling
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR12 postcode.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Repair or replace in Hickling?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hickling. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
