Shower tray repair at your home in Norton Mandeville

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and a dull, stained or worn surface, across acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Norton Mandeville

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common problems we fix in Norton Mandeville

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Norton Mandeville. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Norton Mandeville: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

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

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
