About our shower tray repair in Wherstead
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can typically put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Repairing versus replacing in Wherstead
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
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.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Wherstead questions
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Wherstead. Prices don’t change with location.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
