Shower tray repair for Woolpit homes

About our shower tray repair in Woolpit

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and scuffs and light scratches, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Woolpit: your questions answered

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Woolpit and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What affects the price in Woolpit

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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 will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Repairing versus replacing in Woolpit

Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our full price list.

How it works

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. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP30 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
