About our shower tray repair in Earl Stonham

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and scratches from cleaning or grit.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Earl Stonham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit 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, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

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

Repairing versus replacing in Earl Stonham

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Most jobs done in one visit

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  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

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Earl Stonham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Common problems we fix in Earl Stonham

Common reasons people in Earl Stonham contact us are:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
