About our shower tray repair in Doddinghurst

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and damage from a refit or building work, in ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Doddinghurst. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Doddinghurst as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Doddinghurst: your questions answered

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

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

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you need shower tray repair in Doddinghurst?

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Doddinghurst. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
