Shower tray repair in Hadleigh without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and movement when you stand on it, in stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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 natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we work on in Hadleigh

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When to call us in Hadleigh

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

What affects the price in Hadleigh

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
