How we handle shower tray repair in Hornick
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include a cracked shower tray and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL26 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hornick use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
When to call us in Hornick
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that flexes
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
