What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in East Orchard

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

Shower tray repair in East Orchard without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting, we can normally put it right, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Can I fix it myself?

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 tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

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.

East Orchard: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in East Orchard?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Repairing versus replacing in East Orchard

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to East Orchard. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
