Repairing versus replacing in Howden
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Howden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Shower tray repair in Howden, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and a cracked shower tray.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When to call us in Howden

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Howden
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

FAQs for Howden
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What areas do you cover?
All of West Lothian, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
