Shower tray repair for Ellingham homes

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.

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Ellingham

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Repairing versus replacing in Ellingham

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Ellingham

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ellingham. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Ellingham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ellingham, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Ellingham questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Ellingham?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

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

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
