Boyton Cross: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Are there extra charges for Boyton Cross?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you come to Boyton Cross?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Boyton Cross and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Common problems we fix in Boyton Cross

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Materials we work on in Boyton Cross

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Boyton Cross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Landlord and trade work in Boyton Cross

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
