Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Barham, Suffolk
Shower tray repair in and around Barham: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A cracked shower tray
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Shower tray repair in Barham, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and scuffs and light scratches.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.
When to call us in Barham
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
Questions from Barham
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
