Shower tray repair for Felixstowe homes

Shower tray repair in Felixstowe without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Felixstowe

Are there extra charges for Felixstowe?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Felixstowe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
