Shower tray repair in Gisleham

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How we handle shower tray repair in Gisleham

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches from cleaning or grit, across ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we are called out for in Gisleham

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
