Shower tray repair for Steeple Bumpstead homes

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Shower tray repair in Steeple Bumpstead without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray, on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Steeple Bumpstead, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Steeple Bumpstead

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Steeple Bumpstead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Steeple Bumpstead. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

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 the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
