Shower tray repair for Cornish Hall End homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Shower tray repair at your home in Cornish Hall End

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and a crack across the base, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Cornish Hall End

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work in Cornish Hall End?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cornish Hall End and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Common problems we fix in Cornish Hall End

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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 quote, not a guess.

What affects the price in Cornish Hall End

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
