How we handle shower tray repair in Bedlar's Green

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bedlar's Green and across Essex.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Bedlar's Green

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’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Bedlar's Green?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bedlar's Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our full price list.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
