How we handle shower tray repair in Shotley Gate
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shotley Gate and across Suffolk.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shotley Gate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
