Shower tray repair in Iken

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Shower tray repair in Iken, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Iken. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic

When to call us in Iken

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Iken

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Suffolk.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
