About our shower tray repair in Hathern
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Our technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Landlord and trade work in Hathern
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hathern use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
