Shower tray repair at your home in Norden

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are often asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Norden and across Dorset.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

What affects the price in Norden

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Norden. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not 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

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BH20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Norden, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Norden questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Are you accredited?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Norden

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
