Your questions about shower tray repair in East Ferry

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so East Ferry is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you come to East Ferry?

We do. Technicians travel to East Ferry from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Shower tray repair in East Ferry without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a damaged area around the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we work on in East Ferry

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

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
