Shower tray repair near Thorpe St Andrew

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe St Andrew

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorpe St Andrew as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
