What affects the price in Orford
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Orford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Repairing versus replacing in Orford
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
