How we handle shower tray repair in Great Waldingfield
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. If you’re dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface, we can generally put it right, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Waldingfield
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover Great Waldingfield?
We do. Technicians travel to Great Waldingfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Great Waldingfield. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Great Waldingfield
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What your quote should include

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
