Shower tray repair in Ixworth without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and a crack across the base, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

What affects the price in Ixworth
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ixworth. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Ixworth get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we’re called out for in Ixworth

FAQs for Ixworth
Do you cover Ixworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ixworth. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Landlord and trade work in Ixworth
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What else we do in Ixworth
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
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 price the job without visiting.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
