Shower tray repair in Dedham, done in place
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 enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a damaged area around the waste, in enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Dedham
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Do you need shower tray repair in Dedham?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before booking

- What preparation is included

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Dedham
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
