Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire shower tray
For a price in Hinksey Hill, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Common problems we fix in Hinksey Hill
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
