Shower tray repair in Thurgarton, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and cracks running from the waste, on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Do you need shower tray repair in Thurgarton?

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our prices page.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Thurgarton

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Common questions in Thurgarton

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Thurgarton?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What affects the price in Thurgarton

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Thurgarton and want a price, photos 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.
