The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

About our shower tray repair in Hemingstone
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and cracks running from the waste, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Hemingstone: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hemingstone.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Hemingstone
When to call us in Hemingstone
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
