FAQs for Coggeshall

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Landlord and trade work in Coggeshall

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What affects the price in Coggeshall

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Coggeshall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
