Shower tray repair at your home in Hop Pole
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, across cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Questions from Hop Pole
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hop Pole, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Hop Pole
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hop Pole. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When to call us in Hop Pole
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

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 does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
