Damaged shower tray in Earlham? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches in the surface
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
How we handle shower tray repair in Earlham
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Earlham
For anyone letting property in or around Earlham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Earlham. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Earlham
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
