About our shower tray repair in Horbling
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a cracked shower tray, we can help.

What we are called out for in Horbling
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
If you manage a building such as Brown's Church of England Primary School, we repair changing-room showers as well as work in homes.
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Replacement in Horbling means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there. For a rural address like Horbling, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there’s no second trip.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What else we do in Horbling
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Horbling
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
