Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Shower tray repair in Hulver Street without replacing anything
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches from cleaning or grit.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hulver Street as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Common problems we fix in Hulver Street
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

- Edge chips from dropped bottles

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Hulver Street: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
