How we handle shower tray repair in Great Witchingham

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Great Witchingham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Do you need shower tray repair in Great Witchingham?

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Great Witchingham questions

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

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.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
