Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Downham Market: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Downham Market?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you come to Downham Market?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Downham Market from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our full price list.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

For anyone letting property in or around Downham Market, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
