Shower tray repair for Breckland homes

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Shower tray repair in Breckland, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base, in acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

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

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Breckland?

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How do I book?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for 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. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP24 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
