Shower tray repair for Sternfield homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Sternfield

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and chipped corners or rims.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sternfield and across Suffolk.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Sternfield

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

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 we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Questions from Sternfield

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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 it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Sternfield?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
