About our shower tray repair in Henlow

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and a damaged area around the waste, across acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

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

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we’re called out for in Henlow

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Henlow

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
