Common questions in Great Thurlow
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Great Thurlow included. Travel is included in the price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The material
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Great Thurlow. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
For anyone letting property in or around Great Thurlow, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
