Shower tray repair at your home in Woolpit Heath

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

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

Questions from Woolpit Heath

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Woolpit Heath?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

For landlords and businesses

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

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
