Shower tray repair in Whimpwell Green

Shower tray repair in Whimpwell Green, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a dull, stained or worn surface.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Whimpwell Green as everywhere else we work.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we’re called out for in Whimpwell Green

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whimpwell Green

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our pricing.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NR12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Whimpwell Green: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Norfolk.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
