DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we are called out for in Waldringfield

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.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

FAQs for Waldringfield

Is there any odour?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. 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

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Waldringfield. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
