Repairing versus replacing in Saxmundham

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Saxmundham

Do you cover Saxmundham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Saxmundham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Are there extra charges for Saxmundham?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there any odour?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 will not last.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
How many items we do on one visit
The material and finish
The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

Any earlier repairs or coatings
Any details about the material
Natural light rather than flash
The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Saxmundham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we’re called out for in Saxmundham

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Look out for any of the following:

Chips caused during fitting
Scratches in the surface
Cracks running from the waste
A tray that flexes

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

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

Replace failing sealant promptly
Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
