DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Shower tray repair in Hummerbeck, done in place
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix a crack across the base and chips on the edges, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.

What we’re called out for in Hummerbeck
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairing versus replacing in Hummerbeck

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Hummerbeck
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
