How we handle shower tray repair in Hillesden
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Hillesden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Questions from Hillesden
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hillesden, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
