Trusted shower tray repair in Lowestoft

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Shower tray repair in Lowestoft without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help.

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

Repairs by material

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.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Lowestoft: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Lowestoft is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Are there extra charges for Lowestoft?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lowestoft

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Lowestoft, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Lowestoft

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

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

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
