Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Common problems we fix in Stratford St Andrew

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Common reasons people in Stratford St Andrew contact us are:

  • Damage from a refit or building work

Our hiring checklist

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Stratford St Andrew and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stratford St Andrew as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

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

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

What we work on

Your questions about shower tray repair in Stratford St Andrew

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your IP17 postcode.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
