What else we do in Lavenham
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Lavenham
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Repairing versus replacing in Lavenham
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
