Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle shower tray repair in Racecourse
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a crack across the base, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Racecourse and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Racecourse
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?

- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Racecourse
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Racecourse as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting 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 quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Signs you need shower tray repair in Racecourse
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Damage around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Racecourse questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
