Shower tray repair in Clipsham, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with scuffs and light scratches and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Clipsham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When to call us in Clipsham
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips caused during fitting
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
