What affects the price in Henham

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Shower tray repair in Henham, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Henham

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Henham

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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 whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
