About our shower tray repair in Hankelow
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and damage from a refit or building work, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace in Hankelow?

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
