About our shower tray repair in Greensted

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Greensted: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Do you come to Greensted?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Greensted and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CM5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

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

Landlord and trade work in Greensted

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Greensted?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Greensted clients choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Greensted. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Greensted. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Greensted and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
