About our shower tray repair in Barnardiston
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about damage from a refit or building work and edge chips from dropped bottles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Barnardiston. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare

Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Do you need shower tray repair in Barnardiston?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
