Shower tray repair in Hengrave, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s a crack across the base and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hengrave. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Hengrave questions
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IP28 postcode.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Hengrave and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
