Shower tray repair near Brettenham

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Brettenham. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Common problems we fix in Brettenham

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brettenham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Brettenham

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover Brettenham?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Brettenham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
