Shower tray repair at your home in Dedham Heath
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we cannot put right

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Typically one visit, start to finish
See our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

FAQs for Dedham Heath
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Dedham Heath?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
