How we handle shower tray repair in Hixon
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Hixon
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Hixon
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Hixon, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Repair or replace in Hixon?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Hixon
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, generally along the edges or by the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips on the edges
- A crack across the base
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job

What affects the price in Hixon

- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
