Shower tray repair in Waterden, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Waterden
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Waterden
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Waterden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
