Shower tray repair for Copford Green homes

About our shower tray repair in Copford Green

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Copford Green. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Copford Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Materials we work on in Copford Green

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered 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. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Copford Green: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Copford Green.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
