Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Shower tray repair at your home in Boxworth
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and chips caused during fitting, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Boxworth and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Boxworth
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Boxworth and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Boxworth
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
FAQs for Boxworth

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
