Shower tray repair in Gallows Green

Shower tray repair in Gallows Green without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gallows Green

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Common problems we fix in Gallows Green

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work 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 care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Gallows Green

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

Everywhere in the UK, Gallows Green included. Travel is included in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Gallows Green

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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