Shower tray repair at your home in Ditchingham
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairing versus replacing in Ditchingham
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the whole UK

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
If you’re in Ditchingham and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Ditchingham
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Ditchingham
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste
What to look for in a quote

- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
