Great Bircham questions
Do you work in Great Bircham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Great Bircham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What else we do in Great Bircham
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Great Bircham

Landlord and trade work in Great Bircham
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When to call us in Great Bircham
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to look after the finish
- How your room will be protected
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.
