Shower tray repair at your home in Sand Hill
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We are frequently asked to fix a crack across the base and movement when you stand on it, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sand Hill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What else we do in Sand Hill
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Sand Hill: your questions answered
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
