Your questions about shower tray repair in Erpingham

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How we handle shower tray repair in Erpingham

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

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

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Erpingham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Erpingham?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Erpingham

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
