Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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 will get a fixed figure.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Hornchurch

Do you come to Hornchurch?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hornchurch. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Hornchurch?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RM12 postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

If you are in Hornchurch and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hornchurch as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
