Trusted shower tray repair in Fakenham Magna

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

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

About our shower tray repair in Fakenham Magna

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting, in cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire 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 entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Your questions about shower tray repair in Fakenham Magna

Is it messy?

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
