Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why Hersden customers choose us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the whole UK
- Work done at your home or business
See our prices page.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 will reply with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Hersden
How much does shower tray repair cost in Hersden?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CT3 postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
