Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair at your home in Fobbing

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Our technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and chipped corners or rims.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Fobbing

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Repair or replace in Fobbing?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit 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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fobbing

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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