- Repairs from £95
- Cracks running from the waste

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we work on
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about shower tray repair in Honicknowle
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do you come to Honicknowle?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Honicknowle for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the entire of Plymouth?
Across the UK, and that includes Honicknowle. Prices do not change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Honicknowle. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
