Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Martlesham Heath
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. 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.
What we’re called out for in Martlesham Heath
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
