Shower tray repair at your home in Doleham
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We’re frequently asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that flexes, across ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When to call us in Doleham
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that flexes
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Doleham. The price reflects:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

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.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Doleham questions
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Are there extra charges for Doleham?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
When can I use the shower again?
Usually the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
