Shower tray repair at your home in Hepworth
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and a damaged area around the waste, across acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Hepworth
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Common reasons people in Hepworth contact us are:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

FAQs for Hepworth
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Hepworth included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hepworth
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Hepworth
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
