Shower tray repair at your home in Mutford

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and scuffs and light scratches.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Mutford and across Suffolk.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Mutford

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Landlord and trade work in Mutford

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Mutford: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

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.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we are called out for in Mutford

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

What affects the price in Mutford

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Mutford. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
