Shower tray repair in Freethorpe without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chipped corners or rims, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire shower tray
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
