Shower tray repair in Hengrave, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and a dull, stained or worn surface, across stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Hengrave
Are you a vetted contractor?

Do you come to Hengrave?

Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Hengrave?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Hengrave
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Hengrave, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hengrave
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hengrave use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
