Shower tray repair for Jaywick homes

What affects the price in Jaywick

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Shower tray repair in Jaywick, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Whether it’s chips on the edges and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Jaywick

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again

Common questions in Jaywick

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are there extra charges for Jaywick?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Jaywick?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
