Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Woodside View

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

We cover the whole UK, including Woodside View and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodside View use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Woodside View. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Woodside View

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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
