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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Great Glemham

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Great Glemham questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you cover Great Glemham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Great Glemham and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

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.
