Shower tray repair in Garboldisham, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Questions from Garboldisham
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Garboldisham. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material

How to get a fixed quote

- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Garboldisham, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
