Materials and what they mean for the repair

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the whole UK
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Castle Hill
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Questions from Castle Hill
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
