Trusted shower tray repair in Rendlesham

Aftercare tips

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

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

About our shower tray repair in Rendlesham

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and chips on the edges.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rendlesham as everywhere else we work.

Rendlesham questions

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Common problems we fix in Rendlesham

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Rendlesham?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rendlesham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Rendlesham clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
