Shower tray repair in Framingham Earl without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips or cracks by the plughole.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Framingham Earl questions

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Framingham Earl

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Materials we work on in Framingham Earl

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Framingham Earl. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Framingham Earl, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
