Shower Tray Repair for Orwell homes
Our repair technicians come to Orwell for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Shower tray repair in Orwell, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches in the surface.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Orwell
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Orwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do I have to be there?

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Do you need shower tray repair in Orwell?
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Other services in Orwell
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Landlord and trade work in Orwell
If you manage property in Orwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
