What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Hindringham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Questions from Hindringham
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
