Shower tray repair at your home in Hinton Waldrist
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and damage from a refit or building work, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
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.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hinton Waldrist, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Do you need shower tray repair in Hinton Waldrist?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Scratches in the surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What affects the price in Hinton Waldrist
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hinton Waldrist. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in Hinton Waldrist get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
