Shower tray repair in Elm

How we handle shower tray repair in Elm

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and movement when you stand on it, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

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

Repair or replace in Elm?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Elm. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Do you need shower tray repair in Elm?

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips on the edges

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Elm

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Elm. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Elm questions

Which areas do you work in?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elm

If you manage property in Elm, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elm use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.
