What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t 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.
Related advice
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Thurgarton
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Common reasons people in Thurgarton contact us include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Thurgarton
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
