What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Swaffham

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Swaffham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Swaffham

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

How it works

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 work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
