Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Groton, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We are often asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and edge chips from dropped bottles, in stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Groton and across Suffolk.

Landlord and trade work in Groton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Groton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business

Your questions about shower tray repair in Groton

Are there extra charges for Groton?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you come to Groton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Groton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
