Shower Tray Repair for Ipswich homes
Local shower tray repair for Ipswich: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Shower tray repair at your home in Ipswich
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and damage from a refit or building work, we can generally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common questions in Ipswich
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place

Materials we work on in Ipswich
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Landlord and trade work in Ipswich
If you manage property in Ipswich, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Ipswich
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What affects the price in Ipswich
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
