Shower tray repair at your home in Little Waldingfield

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We’re often asked to fix chipped corners or rims and a dull, stained or worn surface, on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Little Waldingfield

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Little Waldingfield

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Little Waldingfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Landlord and trade work in Little Waldingfield

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
