Shower tray repair for Northwold homes

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP26 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

About our shower tray repair in Northwold

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and cracks running from the waste, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Do you need shower tray repair in Northwold?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again

Landlord and trade work in Northwold

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northwold use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Northwold, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
