Shower Tray Repair in Hill Street
We travel to Hill Street for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Shower tray repair in Hill Street, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairing versus replacing in Hill Street
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Hill Street customers choose us
- Work done at your home or business
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour-matched on site

Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hill Street.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
What affects the price in Hill Street
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hill Street. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
