- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Hackthorn questions
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When to call us in Hackthorn
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
