Shower tray repair in Watton without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it, we can usually put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Watton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Watton
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

What else we do in Watton
Watton questions
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Watton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP25 postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What we do, step by step
On the day, 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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
