Shower tray repair near Great Fossend

Shower tray repair in Great Fossend, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and scuffs and light scratches.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common problems we fix in Great Fossend

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What to look for in a quote

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Great Fossend

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Great Fossend

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you work in Great Fossend?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Great Fossend from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Great Fossend?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used 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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairs by material

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 trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
