Shower tray repair in Pakefield without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and scuffs and light scratches, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Pakefield: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
On the day, 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 the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
