About our shower tray repair in Shotley Common
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Shotley Common
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Shotley Common?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shotley Common. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole 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.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shotley Common use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we’re called out for in Shotley Common
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Shotley Common
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
