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.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How we handle shower tray repair in Ufford

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We’re frequently asked to fix a crack across the base and chipped corners or rims, in ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

When to call us in Ufford

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ufford

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ufford.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover Ufford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ufford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

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.

Related advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ufford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ufford

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
