Shower tray repair in Lower Hacheston, done in place

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We are often asked to fix a tray that flexes and a crack across the base, on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lower Hacheston

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you cover Lower Hacheston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lower Hacheston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Lower Hacheston?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace in Lower Hacheston?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Lower Hacheston

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Lower Hacheston

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

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
