Shower tray repair near Stanton

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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.

How we handle shower tray repair in Stanton

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, across enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repairing versus replacing in Stanton

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stanton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

FAQs for Stanton

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
