What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Shower tray repair in Hipsburn without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and light scratches and a crack across the base.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

Questions from Hipsburn
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover Hipsburn?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hipsburn for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What we do, step by step

- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace in Hipsburn?
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Hipsburn clients choose us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
Read our prices page.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
