Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Shower tray repair in Occold without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and damage from a refit or building work, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Occold is about 10 miles north-east of Stowmarket, in Suffolk. Book a date that suits you, and we’ll give you an arrival time in advance, so there is no waiting around. Occold is one of 731 places in Suffolk where we work. We work right across the region, from Occold to London (77 miles away).
We cover every part of IP23. That includes homes on The Street, The Causeway and Old Rectory Gardens and the roads around them. Nearby, we also work in Dublin (1 mile south-east), Rishangles (1 mile south), Thorndon (1 mile west), Bedingfield (2 miles south-east) and Stoke Ash (2 miles west).

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Occold questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you cover Occold?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Occold for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Occold?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What we’re called out for in Occold
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Repair or replace in Occold?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
