Your questions about shower tray repair in Greensted Green

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the next day.

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’ll tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Greensted Green. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Shower tray repair in Greensted Green, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and a tray that flexes, across acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
