Common questions in Fressingfield

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Fressingfield

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Fressingfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Fressingfield, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Fressingfield?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fressingfield

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
