Shower Tray Repair for Mendlesham homes
Shower tray repair for Mendlesham, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed quote, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How we handle shower tray repair in Mendlesham
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and cracks running from the waste, across ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we’re called out for in Mendlesham
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Mendlesham?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Mendlesham
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your IP14 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
