Questions from Wattisham

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Wattisham?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP7 postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

When to call us in Wattisham

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips on the edges

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wattisham. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Wattisham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
