Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Saxlingham Thorpe, Norfolk
We travel to Saxlingham Thorpe for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips caused during fitting
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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.

Common questions in Saxlingham Thorpe
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you cover Saxlingham Thorpe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Saxlingham Thorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
