How we handle shower tray repair in Bentley

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you’re dealing with cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it, we can help, on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Our hiring checklist

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bentley. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
