Shower tray repair in Leaden Roding

Shower tray repair at your home in Leaden Roding

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When we would advise against a repair

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

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

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about shower tray repair in Leaden Roding

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
