How we handle shower tray repair in Horstead
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We’re often asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and a dull, stained or worn surface, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What’s near Horstead

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- No need to remove anything

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horstead
For anyone letting property in or around Horstead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Questions from Horstead
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Horstead

Common reasons people in Horstead contact us are:

- Cracks running from the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
