Shower tray repair in Rendham, 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 stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches in the surface.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

Questions from Rendham

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

  • Cast iron

When to call us in Rendham

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rendham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the 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. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
