Shower tray repair in Hewas Water, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and damage around the waste.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hewas Water and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
FAQs for Hewas Water
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Hewas Water
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Do you need shower tray repair in Hewas Water?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace in Hewas Water?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
