About our shower tray repair in Epping Upland

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and scuffs and light scratches, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Epping Upland

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Do you need shower tray repair in Epping Upland?

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A crack across the base
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered

Repair or replace in Epping Upland?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our full price list.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Epping Upland. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Epping Upland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Epping Upland and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Epping Upland

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
