Trusted shower tray repair in Kelvedon Hatch

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. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Kelvedon Hatch questions

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Kelvedon Hatch and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you come to Kelvedon Hatch?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Kelvedon Hatch from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Do you need shower tray repair in Kelvedon Hatch?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Kelvedon Hatch

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
