Repair or replace in Hawridge?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Shower tray repair in Hawridge without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hawridge, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Common questions in Hawridge
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hawridge.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Hawridge included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
