Questions from Temple End
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How we price shower tray repair

Other services in Temple End
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
