Shower tray repair in Castle Hedingham without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairing versus replacing in Castle Hedingham
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Castle Hedingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
If you manage property in Castle Hedingham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
