Book shower tray repair in East Hanningfield

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Shower tray repair in East Hanningfield, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We’re often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scuffs and light scratches, across cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Common problems we fix in East Hanningfield

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Hanningfield as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Your questions about shower tray repair in East Hanningfield

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in East Hanningfield.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in East Hanningfield?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CM3 postcode.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: 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 price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
