Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TS27 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need shower tray repair in High Hesleden
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
- Scuffs and light scratches
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
High Hesleden questions
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What else we do in High Hesleden
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in High Hesleden

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
