FAQs for Bromley Cross

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Bromley Cross and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Do you need shower tray repair in Bromley Cross?

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.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to care for the finish
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Bromley Cross

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bromley Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
