How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Havering-atte-Bower

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
