What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Harpley questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Do you work in Harpley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Harpley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Harpley
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace in Harpley?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
