Shower tray repair in Walham without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and chips on the edges, we can normally put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What we are called out for in Walham
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A cracked shower tray
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips caused during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?

We do. We send a technician to Walham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
