Shower tray repair for Benhall homes

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

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.

About our shower tray repair in Benhall

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We’re often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a cracked shower tray, across stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benhall as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Common questions in Benhall

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How do I book?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Benhall and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Benhall

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

What we’re called out for in Benhall

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
