Shower tray repair in Battisford

About our shower tray repair in Battisford

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are edge chips from dropped bottles and movement when you stand on it.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Battisford, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Battisford: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

We cover the entire UK, including Battisford and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do you cover Battisford?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Battisford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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.

What we’re called out for in Battisford

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Different materials, different repairs

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 is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
