Shower tray repair near Duton Hill

How to care for the repair

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

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

About our shower tray repair in Duton Hill

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Duton Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When to call us in Duton Hill

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about shower tray repair in Duton Hill

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Duton Hill?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
