Shower tray repair in Clacton-on-Sea

Shower tray repair in Clacton-on-Sea without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clacton-on-Sea. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

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.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Clacton-on-Sea questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are there extra charges for Clacton-on-Sea?

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

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

Everywhere in the UK, Clacton-on-Sea included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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