Shower tray repair in South Normanton

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in South Normanton

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for South Normanton. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE55 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in South Normanton

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

South Normanton: your questions answered

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to South Normanton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to South Normanton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does shower tray repair cost in South Normanton?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE55 postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What we’re called out for in South Normanton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
