Trusted shower tray repair in Norton

Shower tray repair in Norton, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and damage around the waste, across ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Norton

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Norton?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Common problems we fix in Norton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Norton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Norton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
