Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Shower tray repair in Lower Hirst, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scuffs and light scratches.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kirklees.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Lower Hirst questions
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you cover the entire of Kirklees?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Are there extra charges for Lower Hirst?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
