DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
About our shower tray repair in Pype Hayes

- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

More services for Pype Hayes
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Landlord and trade work in Pype Hayes
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairing versus replacing in Pype Hayes
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Do you need shower tray repair in Pype Hayes?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Common reasons people in Pype Hayes contact us are:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A crack across the base
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
