Shower tray repair in Boxford without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the edges and staining and dullness across the tray, in enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Boxford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we are called out for in Boxford
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that flexes
- A cracked shower tray
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin

What affects the price in Boxford
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode

Your questions about shower tray repair in Boxford
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you work in Boxford?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Boxford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
