DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Shower tray repair in West Harton without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes, on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add 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.

What else we do in West Harton
Questions from West Harton
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you come to West Harton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to West Harton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in West Harton.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the price in West Harton
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in West Harton
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
