Shower tray repair in Heston without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Heston
Repairing versus replacing in Heston
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
