Questions from Little End
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Little End?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Little End
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Should you replace it?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
When to call us in Little End
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips caused during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
