DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
About our shower tray repair in Orford
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and damage from a refit or building work, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Orford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When to call us in Orford
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

What else we do in Orford
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

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. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Orford
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you come to Orford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Orford and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
