Shower tray repair at your home in Church End

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We’re often asked to fix movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we are called out for in Church End

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

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

FAQs for Church End

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you come to Church End?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Church End. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

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