Shower tray repair in Hillyfields, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that flexes and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hillyfields. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Common questions in Hillyfields
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
