Shower tray repair in Bury St Edmunds without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Bury St Edmunds

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common questions in Bury St Edmunds

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
