About our shower tray repair in Hemingby
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for scratches from cleaning or grit and a crack across the base, in stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Hemingby questions
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic

When to call us in Hemingby
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it
- A crack across the base

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hemingby
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hemingby use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
