How we handle shower tray repair in Tunstall

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and a cracked shower tray, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tunstall. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Tunstall get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we’re called out for in Tunstall

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Tunstall

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Repairing versus replacing in Tunstall

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
