Common questions in Worlingworth

How much does shower tray repair cost in Worlingworth?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you work in Worlingworth?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Worlingworth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Shower tray repair in Worlingworth without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and cracks running from the waste.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Worlingworth

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Worlingworth customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our pricing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
