Shower tray repair in Santon Downham, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and a tray that flexes.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
