Shower tray repair near Bush Fair

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Shower tray repair in Bush Fair without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, we can typically put it right.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  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
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Bush Fair

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Bush Fair?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Common questions in Bush Fair

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

When to call us in Bush Fair

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
