About our shower tray repair in Felixstowe Ferry

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and cracks running from the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Felixstowe Ferry

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Felixstowe Ferry

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
