About our shower tray repair in Upper Hoyland
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
FAQs for Upper Hoyland
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Do you need shower tray repair in Upper Hoyland?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A cracked shower tray
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips caused during fitting

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
