How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
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’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
FAQs for Southwold
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Common problems we fix in Southwold
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

- A tray that flexes
- A dull, stained or worn surface

Honest limits

- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

- Acrylic

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
