Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from Shelley

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When to call us in Shelley

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

How it works

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.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
