How we handle shower tray repair in Henhurst
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from a refit or building work and cracks running from the waste.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

- We check the tray for movement first.

- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
