FAQs for Hawstead Green
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How we handle shower tray repair in Hawstead Green
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you’re dealing with chips caused during fitting and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

- Ceramic

Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hawstead Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP29 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
