Sparham questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Shower tray repair in Sparham, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a crack across the base and a damaged area around the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts 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.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Sparham
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Look out for these signs:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips caused during fitting

What else we do in Sparham
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Sparham is about 6 miles north-east of Dereham, in Norfolk. We agree a date that works for you, and you will know when to expect us, so you’re not left waiting in all day. Sparham is one of 797 towns and villages in Norfolk we cover.
All of NR9 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Local streets include The Street, Well Lane and Church Farm Lane, all of which we cover.

What we cannot put right

- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sparham. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire shower tray
For a price in Sparham, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sparham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
