Shower tray repair & resurfacing in California, Norfolk

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
How we handle shower tray repair in California
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in California
Are there extra charges for California?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What else we do in California
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to California. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
