Common problems we fix in Hillgrove
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What your quote should include

Shower tray repair in Hillgrove without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a damaged area around the waste.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hillgrove as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Questions from Hillgrove
Do you cover Hillgrove?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hillgrove from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Hillgrove
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillgrove
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
