Shower tray repair in Hopkinstown without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and chipped corners or rims, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Hopkinstown
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A cracked shower tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Hopkinstown, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not 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 photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Hopkinstown
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
