What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about shower tray repair in Woodbridge

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Woodbridge. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Woodbridge get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
