How we handle shower tray repair in Flixton
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are often asked to fix movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Flixton and across Suffolk.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Flixton: your questions answered
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Related advice
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Flixton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Flixton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
