Shower tray repair near High Garrett

Landlord and trade work in High Garrett

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Garrett as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Shower tray repair in High Garrett without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for scratches from cleaning or grit and a dull, stained or worn surface, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

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