Shower Tray Repair for Alby homes
Shower tray repair for Alby, without a refit. Get a fixed quote from your pictures, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Shower tray repair at your home in Alby
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that flexes.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Alby and across Norfolk.

What we are called out for in Alby
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A cracked shower tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What else we do in Alby
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
