Shower tray repair across Essex: what to expect

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We are frequently asked to fix a crack across the base and edge chips from dropped bottles, across ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

We protect the floor and the enclosure.
Any sealant in the way is cut out.
The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
We refinish the surface to match the tray.
We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repair or replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Essex. The price depends on:

Where the damage is and how we get to it
What kind of damage it is
How many items we do on one visit
Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

The material, if you know it
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A picture taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Essex

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Essex as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Essex

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can I use the shower again?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
