Lower Thurlton: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Lower Thurlton and the rest of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR14 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long before I can shower?
Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Shower tray repair in Lower Thurlton, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and light scratches and a damaged area around the waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
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 over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. 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.
