What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Shower tray repair in North Lopham without replacing anything
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you are dealing with a crack across the base and chips on the edges, we can generally put it right, on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in North Lopham
Do you need shower tray repair in North Lopham?

You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scratches in the surface
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

North Lopham questions
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes North Lopham. Prices do not change with location.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for North Lopham?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
