Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Shower tray repair in Fen Street without replacing anything
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Fen Street and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Fen Street and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Fen Street: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Do you cover Fen Street?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Fen Street and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is typically 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
