How we handle shower tray repair in Hellington Corner
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and chips or cracks by the plughole.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Hellington Corner questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Norfolk.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Repairing versus replacing in Hellington Corner
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, 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.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
