Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Shower tray repair in Pulham St Mary without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pulham St Mary

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Pulham St Mary

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP21 postcode.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Common problems we fix in Pulham St Mary

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
