Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Waterheath: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Waterheath?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

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.

Do you cover Waterheath?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Waterheath and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

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

Landlord and trade work in Waterheath

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waterheath use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Waterheath, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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 normally the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Waterheath

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Waterheath. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Waterheath and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
