- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Shower tray repair at your home in Windmill Hill
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scratches in the surface.

Windmill Hill: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Common problems we fix in Windmill Hill
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
