About our shower tray repair in Hempstead
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with damage from a refit or building work and a crack across the base, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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 does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Hempstead
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hempstead
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
