Shower tray repair in Horham

Shower tray repair in Horham without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and a damaged area around the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlord and trade work in Horham

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Horham. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Horham questions

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

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.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Are there extra charges for Horham?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

When to call us in Horham

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
