When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Shower tray repair at your home in Riverhead
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about cracks running from the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Riverhead
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Riverhead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Riverhead
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are there extra charges for Riverhead?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
