Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Stowmarket, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that flexes
- A cracked shower tray
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
How we handle shower tray repair in Stowmarket
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Common problems we fix in Stowmarket
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A damaged area around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
