How we handle shower tray repair in Hendra
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Repair or replace in Hendra?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Hendra
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Are there extra charges for Hendra?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
