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. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Shower tray repair in Great Blakenham without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches, in cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
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.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Great Blakenham. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Great Blakenham: your questions answered
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your IP6 postcode.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the following day.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Blakenham
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
