- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

How we handle shower tray repair in Abbotsham
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 aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and cracks running from the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Abbotsham: your questions answered
Do you come to Abbotsham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Abbotsham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Abbotsham included. Travel is included in the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What affects the price in Abbotsham
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
When to call us in Abbotsham
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Common reasons people in Abbotsham contact us are:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
