How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Shower tray repair in Boyton, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Boyton and across Suffolk.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Landlord and trade work in Boyton
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Boyton: your questions answered
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
