Shower tray repair for Somerleyton homes

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we handle shower tray repair in Somerleyton

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and a tray that flexes.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Do you need shower tray repair in Somerleyton?

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically along the edges or by the waste.

  • Scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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 cause damage underneath.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Somerleyton. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

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