Shower tray repair in Wilde Street without replacing anything
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from cleaning or grit and staining and dullness across the tray.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
