Shower tray repair in Blythburgh

How we handle shower tray repair in Blythburgh

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We are frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that flexes, across enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlord and trade work in Blythburgh

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Blythburgh, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What affects the price in Blythburgh

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

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 photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • 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

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Blythburgh

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before booking anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Blythburgh clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Your questions about shower tray repair in Blythburgh

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

What do you need from me?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
