Shower tray repair in Stanton Street, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We’re often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole, across cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When to call us in Stanton Street

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stanton Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Questions from Stanton Street

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you come to Stanton Street?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stanton Street and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Landlord and trade work in Stanton Street

For anyone letting property in or around Stanton Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
