Shower tray repair in Lower Hopton without replacing anything
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. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage around the waste, we can generally put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- 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 normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Lower Hopton
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Lower Hopton.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Lower Hopton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Hopton. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
