Shower tray repair near Ramsholt

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Shower tray repair in Ramsholt, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and damage around the waste.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ramsholt. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Ramsholt and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common questions in Ramsholt

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

When can you do it?

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

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

When to call us in Ramsholt

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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