How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, 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 from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive

You do not 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. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and scratches in the surface.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Hillend, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently 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.

Other services in Hillend
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
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.
Common questions in Hillend
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you come to Hillend?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hillend. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
For a price in Hillend, pictures 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.
