About our shower tray repair in Debenham
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the waste and damage from a refit or building work.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Debenham

For anyone letting property in or around Debenham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about shower tray repair in Debenham
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Do you need shower tray repair in Debenham?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
