Shower Tray Repair in Hoaden
Shower tray repair across Hoaden and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A damaged area around the waste
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Shower tray repair at your home in Hoaden
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. If you are dealing with scratches in the surface and a cracked shower tray, we can normally put it right, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Hoaden
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Hoaden: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What we are called out for in Hoaden
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Common reasons people in Hoaden contact us are:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that flexes
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
