Shower tray repair in Cawston without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we are called out for in Cawston
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Cawston
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
