Shower tray repair in Hopkinstown, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches in the surface.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Hopkinstown
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
