Shower tray repair in Heveningham, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and damage around the waste, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlord and trade work in Heveningham

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work 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 ensure 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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Heveningham. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Heveningham

Common questions in Heveningham

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.
