DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need shower tray repair in Hartley?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A crack across the base
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scuffs and light scratches
What your quote should include

How it works

- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hartley. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Hartley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hartley: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Hartley. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
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.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
