The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Shower tray repair in Withersfield, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and chips or cracks by the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Withersfield: your questions answered
Do you come to Withersfield?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Withersfield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Withersfield?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Withersfield
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
