What we’re called out for in Hadleigh

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Repair or replace in Hadleigh?

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • 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.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Landlord and trade work in Hadleigh

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

If you manage property in Hadleigh, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Hadleigh

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hadleigh. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Hadleigh questions

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hadleigh.
