Need shower tray repair in Little Bradley?

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. 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. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

About our shower tray repair in Little Bradley

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We’re frequently asked to fix a cracked shower tray and chipped corners or rims, in ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Little Bradley. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

Most customers in Little Bradley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Little Bradley questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we are called out for in Little Bradley

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scuffs and light scratches

  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Little Bradley

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
