Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Do you need shower tray repair in Coltishall?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure

FAQs for Coltishall

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

Everywhere in the UK, Coltishall included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Coltishall. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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 you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

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

Repair or replace in Coltishall?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
