Huggate: your questions answered
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Huggate. Prices don’t change with location.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Huggate.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

When to call us in Huggate

- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Related advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
