Shower tray repair at your home in Barningham

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barningham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Barningham questions

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you work in Barningham?

We do. We send a technician to Barningham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.

Common problems we fix in Barningham

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Common reasons people in Barningham contact us are:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
