Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
How we handle shower tray repair in Thorpe Hamlet
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches, across ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Thorpe Hamlet
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage around the waste

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Common questions in Thorpe Hamlet
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Norfolk.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.
