The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface

Choosing a repair company

How we handle shower tray repair in Wickham Skeith

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Landlord and trade work in Wickham Skeith

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin

Wickham Skeith: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Wickham Skeith?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What affects the price in Wickham Skeith

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wickham Skeith. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Wickham Skeith, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
