Shower tray repair at your home in Corton
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about chipped corners or rims and scratches in the surface.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- 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 over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Corton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Corton questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Are there extra charges for Corton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
