Shower Tray Repair for Hornestreet homes
Our technicians come to Hornestreet for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks running from the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Shower tray repair at your home in Hornestreet
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Hornestreet: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
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.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Hornestreet
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
