What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Hammerwood questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Repair or replace in Hammerwood?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Do you need shower tray repair in Hammerwood?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Common reasons people in Hammerwood contact us include:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

What affects the price in Hammerwood
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back

Landlord and trade work in Hammerwood
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
