Shower tray repair for Creeting St Peter homes

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we handle shower tray repair in Creeting St Peter

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are often asked to fix damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Creeting St Peter and across Suffolk.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Creeting St Peter: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Creeting St Peter. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
