Shower tray repair in Hockliffe without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and scratches from cleaning or grit, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, 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.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LU7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hockliffe. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Hockliffe questions
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better 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 work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hockliffe.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Hockliffe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
