How we handle shower tray repair in Lower Hazel
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We are frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and scratches in the surface, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common problems we fix in Lower Hazel
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
