What affects the price in Hawthorn
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hawthorn. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Shower tray repair in Hawthorn, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and damage from a refit or building work.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- 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.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Repairing versus replacing in Hawthorn
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Hawthorn
Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
