Shower tray repair in Sproughton without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include a cracked shower tray and a damaged area around the waste, across cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Sproughton
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Sproughton
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A tray that flexes
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A crack across the base
- Scuffs and light scratches
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Sproughton: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
