Trusted shower tray repair in Norseman

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What affects the price in Norseman

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

When to call us in Norseman

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Questions from Norseman

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Norseman?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What information do you need?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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