Your questions about shower tray repair in Wymondham
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Wymondham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wymondham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
What affects the price in Wymondham
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wymondham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually 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 the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When to call us in Wymondham
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
