Trusted shower tray repair in Needham Market

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Shower tray repair in Needham Market without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips caused during fitting, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Needham Market

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

Everywhere in the UK, Needham Market included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
