About our shower tray repair in Longham

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Longham, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Landlord and trade work in Longham

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. 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 by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

When to call us in Longham

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Questions from Longham

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to Longham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Longham and the rest of Norfolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
