How we handle shower tray repair in Walberswick

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Walberswick: your questions answered

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Walberswick

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Walberswick, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Walberswick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
