Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Four Ashes
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Take a look at our full price list.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common questions in Four Ashes
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Four Ashes. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Four Ashes
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
