Shower tray repair at your home in Kessingland

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can usually put it right.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Kessingland

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Kessingland

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Kessingland?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NR33 postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
