Shower Tray Repair in Gulpher
Damaged shower tray in Gulpher? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Gulpher
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Gulpher.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
We cover the entire UK, including Gulpher and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gulpher
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work 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 check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What else we do in Gulpher
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Gulpher
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Scratches in the surface
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
