How we handle shower tray repair in Norton
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a damaged area around the waste.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What we are called out for in Norton
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
Landlord and trade work in Norton
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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Norton
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Norton?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover Norton?

What affects the price in Norton
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
