Shower tray repair at your home in Calford Green

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Calford Green

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When to call us in Calford Green

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CB9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Calford Green

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
