How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lower Hartshay, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before you book
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Lower Hartshay questions
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Lower Hartshay
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste
