About our shower tray repair in Horseman Side
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Horseman Side questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
