About our shower tray repair in Great Yeldham

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and chips on the edges, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

When to call us in Great Yeldham

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Damage around the waste
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered

FAQs for Great Yeldham

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Great Yeldham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Are you accredited?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What affects the price in Great Yeldham

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
