Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Hampreston, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Common questions in Hampreston
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
