How we handle shower tray repair in Hive

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles, in enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Hive

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Advice

Hive questions

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Hive and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you work in Hive?

We do. We send a technician to Hive for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Hive

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
