Shower tray repair in Hinderclay, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a cracked shower tray.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Hinderclay

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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Common questions in Hinderclay

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Do you need shower tray repair in Hinderclay?

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to look after the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP22 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
