Trusted shower tray repair in Battlesbridge

Shower tray repair in Battlesbridge without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and chipped corners or rims.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Battlesbridge and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Do you need shower tray repair in Battlesbridge?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
