About our shower tray repair in Hethe
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and cracks running from the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What affects the price in Hethe
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hethe. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hethe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole shower tray
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hethe
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
