How we handle shower tray repair in Besthorpe

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and edge chips from dropped bottles, across stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  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 usually usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Besthorpe

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Besthorpe

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Besthorpe. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • 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

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Besthorpe

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A damaged area around the waste
