Shower tray repair in Gissing

Shower tray repair in Gissing, done in place

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and damage around the waste, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Questions from Gissing

Are there extra charges for Gissing?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gissing

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gissing. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Gissing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.
