Ridlington questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Ridlington?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Shower tray repair at your home in Ridlington
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and chips caused during fitting, across enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. 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.
Advice
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ridlington. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Ridlington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common problems we fix in Ridlington
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Common reasons people in Ridlington contact us include:
- A crack across the base
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ridlington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
