Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Westbourne, Suffolk
Shower tray repair in and around Westbourne: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the edges
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Can I fix it myself?
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 usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Shower tray repair in Westbourne, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and cracks running from the waste, we can typically put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we’re called out for in Westbourne
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A crack across the base
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Westbourne
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are there extra charges for Westbourne?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We make sure the tray does not 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.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Westbourne
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. 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 Westbourne as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it

What affects the price in Westbourne
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
