Shower tray repair for Bunwell homes

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Shower tray repair at your home in Bunwell

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches from cleaning or grit.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bunwell as everywhere else we work.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Your questions about shower tray repair in Bunwell

How much does shower tray repair cost in Bunwell?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR16 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

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.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bunwell

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
