Shower tray repair in Chediston without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We’re frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace in Chediston?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Your questions about shower tray repair in Chediston
Are you a vetted contractor?

Which areas do you work in?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Chediston. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
