Shower tray repair in Elmsett, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. 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. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Elmsett. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Elmsett, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Elmsett
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Elmsett?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your IP7 postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Repairing versus replacing in Elmsett
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Elmsett
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A crack across the base
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
