About our shower tray repair in Henstead
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and movement when you stand on it.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- 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, generally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Other services in Henstead
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
FAQs for Henstead
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Henstead?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you come to Henstead?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Henstead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Henstead. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
