Repairing versus replacing in Laxfield

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 we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Common questions in Laxfield

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
