Trusted shower tray repair in Wilby

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Shower tray repair at your home in Wilby

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and chips on the edges.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Wilby?

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, generally along the edges or by the waste.

  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilby

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Repairing versus replacing in Wilby

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

What affects the price in Wilby

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Wilby questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Wilby is covered. Prices do not change with location.
