Shower tray repair near The Lings

Shower tray repair in The Lings without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We’re frequently asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and chips caused during fitting, on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in The Lings and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in The Lings

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around The Lings, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for 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. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for The Lings. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in The Lings

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts
