What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Questions from Hardwicke
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Hardwicke included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When to call us in Hardwicke
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
