Shower tray repair near Winston

Shower tray repair in Winston without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with a cracked shower tray and chipped corners or rims, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlord and trade work in Winston

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Winston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Common problems we fix in Winston

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Winston?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Winston

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Questions from Winston

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
