Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Shower tray repair in South Lopham without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and chips or cracks by the plughole, on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common questions in South Lopham
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Lopham
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
