Shower tray repair at your home in Great Maplestead
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and staining and dullness across the tray.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can

Questions from Great Maplestead
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Great Maplestead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repair or replace in Great Maplestead?

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
