Shower tray repair in Palgrave

What we’re called out for in Palgrave

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Common reasons people in Palgrave contact us are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

About our shower tray repair in Palgrave

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and a cracked shower tray, we can typically put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Palgrave. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Palgrave questions

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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