The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price

How we handle shower tray repair in Great Yarmouth
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and movement when you stand on it.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Common problems we fix in Great Yarmouth
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that flexes
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Yarmouth
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
