DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 generally cheaper.

About our shower tray repair in Bradwell Abbey

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We are frequently asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and a cracked shower tray, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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

What affects the price in Bradwell Abbey

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bradwell Abbey. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Bradwell Abbey

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Bradwell Abbey

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

When can I use the shower again?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

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

Can landlords book you?

When to call us in Bradwell Abbey

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
