How we handle shower tray repair in Hollacombe
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and a dull, stained or worn surface.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Questions from Hollacombe
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
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.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
