Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common problems we fix in Uggeshall

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Common reasons people in Uggeshall contact us include:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base

How to look after the repair

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

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Uggeshall?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Your questions about shower tray repair in Uggeshall

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
