What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Most customers in Lower Hardres get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Questions from Lower Hardres
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Lower Hardres?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
