How we handle shower tray repair in Pockthorpe

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We are often asked to fix chips caused during fitting and chips or cracks by the plughole, across stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Pockthorpe

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do you work in Pockthorpe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pockthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Pockthorpe included. Travel is included in the price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Pockthorpe

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pockthorpe use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we are called out for in Pockthorpe

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
