Need shower tray repair in Benhall Green?

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Benhall Green

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 often lifts.

Repairs by material

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.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Benhall Green get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Benhall Green

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about shower tray repair in Benhall Green

Which areas do you work in?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
