About our shower tray repair in Lower Haysden
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We are often asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lower Haysden. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Lower Haysden questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
