Shower tray repair in Witnesham without replacing anything
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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 colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Witnesham questions
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When to call us in Witnesham
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Landlord and trade work in Witnesham
For anyone letting property in or around Witnesham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Witnesham. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Repair or replace in Witnesham?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.
