How we handle shower tray repair in Hallthwaites
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and cracks running from the waste, in cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Hallthwaites: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Common problems we fix in Hallthwaites
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Common reasons people in Hallthwaites contact us are:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips on the edges
- A crack across the base
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
