Shower tray repair in Shadingfield, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste, across cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shadingfield and across Suffolk.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Do you need shower tray repair in Shadingfield?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Shadingfield questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it messy?

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

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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 will arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
