How we handle shower tray repair in East Mersea

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a cracked shower tray.

Rural addresses like East Mersea just need a little planning, and we’ll organise the visit.

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.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CO5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used. For a rural address like East Mersea, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there’s no second trip.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repair or replace in East Mersea?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. In an older home in a village like East Mersea, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Your questions about shower tray repair in East Mersea

Do you come out to small places like East Mersea?

Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included.

I let a flat near Alresford station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly, and a repair between tenants is usually quicker than replacing.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

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. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
