Shower tray repair in Hollington, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and damage from a refit or building work.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process

- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
FAQs for Hollington
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hollington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
