Shower tray repair in Lea Town

How we handle shower tray repair in Lea Town

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and scratches in the surface, on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lea Town as everywhere else we work.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Lea Town

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

For landlords and businesses

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

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. 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.

Common problems we fix in Lea Town

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A damaged area around the waste

FAQs for Lea Town

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Lea Town. Prices don’t change with location.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
