DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we handle shower tray repair in Chelmondiston

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you’re dealing with chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chelmondiston

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common problems we fix in Chelmondiston

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  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 reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Chelmondiston. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

  • Details of any past repairs

Chelmondiston questions

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How soon can you come?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
