Shower tray repair in Culford without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP28 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Culford: your questions answered
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Culford?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
