Shower tray repair in Down Hatherley, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Landlord and trade work in Down Hatherley
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Down Hatherley
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips caused during fitting

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common questions in Down Hatherley
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the day after.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Down Hatherley. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Down Hatherley, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
