How we handle shower tray repair in Little Plumstead

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a cracked shower tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, in stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Questions from Little Plumstead

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Little Plumstead?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR13 postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
