Repair or replace in Norbury?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we handle shower tray repair in Norbury
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When to call us in Norbury
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Norbury, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Norbury questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
What affects the price in Norbury
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Norbury get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
