About our shower tray repair in Lower Holbrook

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and chipped corners or rims, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our prices page.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lower Holbrook. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Lower Holbrook: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you work in Lower Holbrook?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lower Holbrook and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
