Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Christchurch, Norfolk
Shower tray repair in and around Christchurch: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped corners or rims
- A crack across the base
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle shower tray repair in Christchurch
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and damage around the waste.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What else we do in Christchurch
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Your questions about shower tray repair in Christchurch
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Christchurch?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Landlord and trade work in Christchurch
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
