Do you need shower tray repair in Clopton?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Clopton. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Clopton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
