Shower tray repair near Yoxford

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

About our shower tray repair in Yoxford

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we’re called out for in Yoxford

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, 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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Questions from Yoxford

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP17 postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Yoxford?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Yoxford and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Yoxford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
