How we handle shower tray repair in The Herberts
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and chips on the edges, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in The Herberts

- Stone resin

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What affects the price in The Herberts
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Questions from The Herberts
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including The Herberts and the rest of the Vale of Glamorgan. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Signs you need shower tray repair in The Herberts
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
