Shower tray repair in North Runcton

Your questions about shower tray repair in North Runcton

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the following day.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in North Runcton?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How we handle shower tray repair in North Runcton

What affects the price in North Runcton

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

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

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in North Runcton

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we’re called out for in North Runcton

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chipped corners or rims

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
