Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Holywell, Central Bedfordshire
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Holywell, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle shower tray repair in Holywell
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix a cracked shower tray and a damaged area around the waste, on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Questions from Holywell
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Holywell?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you work in Holywell?
We do. Technicians travel to Holywell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Holywell
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Other services in Holywell
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LU6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
