Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Hincaster, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Landlord and trade work in Hincaster
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Hincaster: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Hincaster and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
When to call us in Hincaster
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Movement when you stand on it
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel

- Acrylic
- Cast iron
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
