Do you need shower tray repair in Cockfield?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Scratches in the surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Materials we work on in Cockfield

- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairs by material
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
