Shower tray repair near Ashill

Shower tray repair in Ashill without replacing anything

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ashill and across Norfolk.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashill

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  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. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Ashill

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work in Ashill?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ashill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Common problems we fix in Ashill

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
