Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Copdock, Suffolk

- Repairs from £95
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What we are called out for in Copdock
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Look out for any of the following:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
- Movement when you stand on it
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Shower tray repair in Copdock, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
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. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Advice
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
FAQs for Copdock
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Copdock?

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Copdock. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: 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 no obligation.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
