Trusted shower tray repair in East Winch

Shower tray repair in East Winch, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin alike.

In a village like East Winch, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where timber floors can move. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in East Winch

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days. Somewhere like East Winch needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Winch as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. In an older home in a village like East Winch, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our Pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
