Shower tray repair near Colton

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How we handle shower tray repair in Colton

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Questions from Colton

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

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

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Colton

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
