DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Stores Corner

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Your questions about shower tray repair in Stores Corner

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you come to Stores Corner?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stores Corner and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stores Corner

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. 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.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Stores Corner, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
