Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What else we do in Howbeck Bank
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Howbeck Bank and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Howbeck Bank
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire East and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
