Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common problems we fix in Polstead
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Polstead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Polstead. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Polstead: your questions answered
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Polstead?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
