About our shower tray repair in Dereham
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can typically put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dereham
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price

Repairing versus replacing in Dereham
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we are called out for in Dereham
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that flexes
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Questions from Dereham
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Dereham. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
