How we handle shower tray repair in Bunwell Hill
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We are often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and chips on the edges, across acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Common problems we fix in Bunwell Hill
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Bunwell Hill questions
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bunwell Hill.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work in Bunwell Hill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bunwell Hill and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Bunwell Hill?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
