How we handle shower tray repair in Norton End
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about staining and dullness across the tray and damage from a refit or building work.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Norton End as everywhere else we work.

Norton End questions
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CB11 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Norton End?
We do. We send a technician to Norton End for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Norton End
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
