Shower tray repair near Old Newton

Shower tray repair in Old Newton without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches from cleaning or grit, in ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Questions from Old Newton

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

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

Repair or replace in Old Newton?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Newton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Old Newton. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Old Newton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
