About our shower tray repair in Great Dunmow

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and a damaged area around the waste, in enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Great Dunmow and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Great Dunmow. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Great Dunmow

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Choosing a repair company

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
