Advice
About our shower tray repair in Low Hesket
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole, in ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Low Hesket and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Low Hesket
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
FAQs for Low Hesket
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Low Hesket. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
