Shower tray repair in West Stow

Shower tray repair at your home in West Stow

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting, across cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

West Stow: your questions answered

Do you cover West Stow?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to West Stow and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in West Stow.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in West Stow?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
