Shower tray repair near Gressenhall

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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

Shower tray repair in Gressenhall without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We’re often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips on the edges, in acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Gressenhall: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you come to Gressenhall?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gressenhall and the rest of Norfolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
