Shower tray repair in Camulodunum, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and damage around the waste, we can normally put it right, on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
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.
Do you need shower tray repair in Camulodunum?
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches in the surface
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Camulodunum. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Camulodunum
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Camulodunum
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
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.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
