Shower tray repair in Finchingfield

How we handle shower tray repair in Finchingfield

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and cracks running from the waste, we can typically put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Finchingfield questions

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

We cover the whole UK, including Finchingfield and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What we are called out for in Finchingfield

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What affects the price in Finchingfield

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Finchingfield

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Finchingfield

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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