Shower tray repair across Well Hill and nearby, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Shower tray repair at your home in Well Hill
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and a crack across the base.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Well Hill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Well Hill: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Well Hill?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
