Shower tray repair in Hampstead without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and staining and dullness across the tray, in ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hampstead. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace in Hampstead?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we’re called out for in Hampstead
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that flexes
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
