Shower tray repair in Creeting Bottoms without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and staining and dullness across the tray.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Creeting Bottoms and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us

Landlord and trade work in Creeting Bottoms
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Advice
FAQs for Creeting Bottoms
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often 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. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places

Common problems we fix in Creeting Bottoms
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that flexes
- Chipped corners or rims

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
