About our shower tray repair in Hoath
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and movement when you stand on it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Hoath?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hoath. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What areas do you cover?

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
