Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Shower tray repair in Cretingham, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are often asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and edge chips from dropped bottles, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.
Somewhere like Cretingham, showers are often in converted or older buildings, where timber floors can move. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work. For a rural address like Cretingham, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

What we are called out for in Cretingham
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips on the edges

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
