Shower tray repair at your home in Little Blakenham
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a damaged area around the waste and a crack across the base.
For a rural address like Little Blakenham, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll plan the visit around it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Little Blakenham
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges
Facilities teams at buildings such as Somersham Primary School can book us for changing-room showers too.
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. In an older home in a village like Little Blakenham, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
See our Prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it. In a village or hamlet like Little Blakenham, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
