About our shower tray repair in Nettlestead
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches, in enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Nettlestead and across Suffolk.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Do you need shower tray repair in Nettlestead?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
Landlords, agents and businesses in Nettlestead
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nettlestead use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel

Nettlestead questions
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Nettlestead?
We do. Technicians travel to Nettlestead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
