Repair or replace in Ipswich Garden Suburb?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Shower tray repair in Ipswich Garden Suburb without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and light scratches and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Ipswich Garden Suburb
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
