About our shower tray repair in Sneath Common

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Sneath Common

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Sneath Common

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Sneath Common: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

Everywhere in the UK, Sneath Common included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole 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. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
