Signs you need shower tray repair in Hemblington

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair at your home in Hemblington

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and scuffs and light scratches, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Hemblington: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hemblington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Hemblington

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Get a quote

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

Should you replace it?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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