Common problems we fix in Hucking
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Shower tray repair at your home in Hucking
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What affects the price in Hucking
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hucking. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hucking
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
