Shower tray repair in Bragenham

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Shower tray repair in Bragenham, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We are often asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray, in acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Bragenham customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Do you need shower tray repair in Bragenham?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
