Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
Take a look at our pricing.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What affects the price in Hogben's Hill
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire shower tray
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Common questions in Hogben's Hill
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
When to call us in Hogben's Hill
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
- A tray that flexes
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
