Shower tray repair at your home in Great Totham
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, across cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Great Totham: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Great Totham?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CM9 postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Signs you need shower tray repair in Great Totham
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage around the waste

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
