Shower tray repair near Campsea Ashe

When to call us in Campsea Ashe

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Campsea Ashe. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Campsea Ashe

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When can I use the shower again?

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

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

We cover the entire UK, including Campsea Ashe and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the 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. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
