Local shower tray repair for Howgill: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused during fitting

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Shower tray repair at your home in Howgill
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and chipped corners or rims, across stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
FAQs for Howgill
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Howgill is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BB7 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
What affects the price in Howgill
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
