Hethersett questions
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NR9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Hethersett
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Hethersett
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Hethersett, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Hethersett
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
