About our shower tray repair in Hints
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most often call us about cracks running from the waste and damage around the waste.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we’re called out for in Hints
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
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.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hints
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hints. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hints. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Hints
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hints use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
