Shower tray repair in Thurning

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

How we handle shower tray repair in Thurning

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and a damaged area around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thurning and across Norfolk.

Questions from Thurning

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you cover Thurning?

We do. Technicians travel to Thurning from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thurning. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Thurning, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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