Your questions about shower tray repair in Parham

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How we handle shower tray repair in Parham

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and a damaged area around the waste, across ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What affects the price in Parham

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Parham. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Parham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Parham

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
